I one look forward to the rip roaring success this will be and am so appreciative that we finally have a metal festival in Ireland :abbath:

In the original message now for ya buck
Also in other posts he says he has put on many events (some people have backed him up on this) and he has 50k for the festival.
Clang :laugh: Dunno why that name is funny but it is.
One to watch. Let's hope it amounts to more than we all cynically expect.
It's complete horseshit, but one fuckin funny thread all the same. Usual stuff of a lad wanting to be the man who brings the metal to the people in the form of some huge festival, that will go nowhere beyond a notion. Wants to bring the "first metal festival" to the country. Ignores every comment questioning it and asking about it bar a few "all in good time" style posts on the lads licking his hole. It'll never amount to anything and happens once a year in that group anyway, but it's great craic for a slow Thursday.
Such a nay-sayer. Mhacáin is coming
Well look I did get to post my favourite gig poster on it
:laugh:
Where did that come from. CT fairly slated Across Deaths so we fell out of favour in the end!
Great find lads. I love all the "you guys are so negative, there's someone here trying to do something " fare, the cloak and dagger knowledge, the refusal to say who's booked, the spas falling for it, the bold references to other events which can't be named, metalireland conspiracies . Completely and utterly bent.

I knocked it together messing when MI folded for the facebook thread. For the record I like Malthusian, it just fit so well it had to be used. There was also this about a week earlier:
MAZIN :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Outside DiFontaine's, you fucking artist
Hahahaha, I saw it posted to the Irish Metal Facebook page with the "first indigenous festival", fucking gas 😁
Well I think it looks class, typical nothing ever happens over here with all you eliteireland types dragging everything down. The lad running it has MS paint tattoos as far as I know

Wouldn't we all look silly if this goes ahead and maiden end up headlining with both Paul dianno and blaze bayel come on stage during the epyomonus song and all 3 sing it. :-[

He was some man for the build 'em up, knock 'em down routine alright.
Sure look it! It's a beast of an album even if nobody else likes it other than me 8)
Anyone who says it'll be Ireland's first heavy metal festival clearly hasn't done his homework and that's the first clue that this will tank if it even gets past the drunken idea stage that it clearly is
You could be onto something with the build em up and knock em down. The Earl could be a bitter bastard sometimes. Partial to the odd brown envelope too as evidenced with the 5/5 Steel Tormentor review, the guitars and vocals were out of tune for fucks sake, drums out of time!

Might be the other way round actually. When Andy and I were writing for MI he loved our bands. When we bowed out he got a bit more critical (though in fairness in my case he was bang on about the production at least - it did sound like mud). So I'd say he might have just been blowing smoke up our arses at the start if anything.
Call me naive but I've never bought into the anti-CT conspiracy theory. I think he liked the Malthusian demo and EP and didn't like the album. I get why too. His tastes tend toward a sound that is maybe more refined than the filth explosion of Across Deaths. He, no more than anyone else, was obliged to give anything I was involved in a favourable review. My two cents.
I can't say I've lost any sleep over it to be honest either way, I didn't like everything we did so no reason anyone else should... anyway..
So is this Indiginous Metal Superextravaganza the work of our friend Phil as well has it been established?Or is it a new pretender to his throne?
Final word on Steel Tormentor, they got the 5 because they paid him to do their site. I lost sleep over that until I solved that mystery.
Generally thought he was fair but their was the occasional glaring exception.

Nope, some other lad. Iron Mountain is Phil this time. He still crops up in the comments on that fb thread to give the new lad advice, also saying that anyone slagging non existent festivals are not true metal fans or something to that effect - You're only a fairweather fan if you live in a city and go to gigs because sure they're right there. Most of the comments in there are just (rightly) pointing out there's already at least seven festivals a year in the country but it's falling deaf to them.
I got on reasonably well with him. Still wonder how he managed to give Zom such a lousy review.
So it's the 2nd May in the National Stadium, still no bands or prices announced
Clang. Jesus. Can't help but hear Bishop Brennan... "You'll call me by my proper title, ya little bollocks".
O ye of little faith.
There's plenty of uh...Clangers...out there.
Clanger Fest!
Looks like it's on the same weekend as Phil's Iron Mountain Fest, and all.
Has there even been a band announced? Just looking at how the Monolith machine is whirring into action for next year.
An announcement... at last!
====================
Short list of some of the Irish Metal talent that will be performing at Clang on May 2nd in the National Stadium.
More to be announced shortly, followed by the Headliner announcement in December when tickets also go on sale.
Bands include:
The Risen Dread
Conjuring Fate
Words that burn
Scimitar
Strangers with Guns
Two Tales of Woe
Sinocence
AeSect
Creep
Tension Head
Ravenlight
Following the Signs
Psychotic Outsiders
Grave Sermon
Bad Boat
and many more!
Whilst there's some good stuff on that list, with the level of bands we have on this small island playing up and down the country in places the size of your living room virtually every weekend, that's a bit of a disappointing first announcement. Could be a mere taster, but I doubt it. Don't want to be a downer or nothing, just looking at it whilst up against the venue and the way it's been advertising itself thus far.

The auld poster needs a bit of blending, and all.
Would I be wrong in saying that all those bands would be siege level bands?? A show that is free after all
I don't think it would be unfair to suggest you're not far off the mark. I wonder how many of them will be playing the Siege a couple of weeks earlier?
This needs a Tribulation level band I think to draw from further afield. What about Mourning Beloveth
How the fuck are all those bands going to
Play over one day? Ie there's more to be added to that.
I think it needs more than a decent headline act to save it. Probably a few barrels of holy water and an XL set of rosary beads.
ya i wouldnt pay just to see those bands tbh
I hope he's rich. Because he's going to lose a lot of money.
That place holds something like 2500 people?,that line up wouldnt pull 200,hes better off pulling the plug asap.
A load of cobblers.
Clang? Should be called KRANG

Siege? Is that some kind of festival? For metal? In Ireland???
Any of those bands, with no disrespect meant, would do well to get 150 people in to On the Rox on a Saturday night. This looks like a bring your granny job. There'll be plenty of elbow room in the venue at least. They'll be able to wheel their rellies, sorry fans, around without it turning into bumper cars. TG4 should televise it for the craic.
Can protestants go to this or is it just for indigenous Irish?
Direct pre-Celtic dweller descendants go free!

Irelands first Sectarian Metal Festival
JUST SAY NO (SURRENDER)
Almost December chaps wonder who the big name is for headliner.
Whiplash.
Bralalalala... lalalalalalala.

Looks like Coroner may get screwed over again if this gets canned
Much as I love Coroner, Acid Reign and Xentrix (and that's a lot) it's still an Academy bill at best.
Any tix sold for this yet?

I hope so haha
Trying to keep expectations in check, coroner have it on their instagram and apparently the bloke running it is quite reputable. All the emails he's sent us have been very proffesional compared to anything else we've dealt with. I f****** hope it goes ahead. Would be devastated if it didn't.
I've heard similar. I think it might just go ahead. 100 people perhaps in a 2000 or so capacity venue.,

If it looks like it's going ahead a few days beforehand I'll probably try and get a ticket on the cheap, but the lowest price at the moment is €65 and I see wouldn't be paying even though I'd love to cross Coroner off the list
This is a haphazard bill at best - the venue holds in or around 2,000 isn't it? You would need more of a marquee name to sell that out - someone like carcass and then probably another band of that ilk as well realistically.
Would Redemption Fest not be considered an Irish Indigenous Metal Festival too with an Irish headliner, Irish promoter, etc. Just curious how this one is billed as the first?
Candlemass just announced as headliner on Overdrive's Facebook
